How can they still not get it? How is it possible that after a decade of rampant unconstrained "piracy" of their shows they still don't understand the free, legal alternative has to be BETTER and work with a minimum of fuss?

So you have a bunch of independent self motivated types who can leave and join the project at will, and every one of them can change the entire direction of the project as they like. For instance, one month it might have alex dying, another month it might have her sexing up gordon, another month she might be out of the game entirely.

Those are very minor story details (which admittedly might shape the levels slightly) and I doubt (even if disagreements like that happened) they would delay the game by even a month, combined.

Anyone who follows any kind of hype machine (unlock a new trailer at 100000 likes, fan forums for games not yet released) at this point is just ruining the final game for themselves. Be patient and wait for it to come out.
